Diamonds are found on earth by geologists who look for indicator minerals, including kimberlite and lamproite, which with diamonds, are all forced to the earth's surface in volcanic pipes.

How do you detect the original diamond?

Original is not a term normally used in a context with diamonds.If you mean real or natural, then take your diamond to a jeweler who can use a probe to determine if the diamond is a real diamond. The jeweler may not be able to tell whether the diamond is a natural diamond or a man-made diamond: for that determination, please take your diamond to a certified gemologist.

What do ships use to detect submarines?

Modern naval ships use some form of Sonar to detect submarines. Additionally, some ships are equipped with Magnetic Anomaly Detectors (MAD gear) that detect a submarine's impact on the Earth's magnetic field in that area.

How do you test if a diamond is real at home?

You can test a diamond at home using a few methods. The first is the fog test - breathe on the diamond, and if it clears quickly, it's likely real. You can also try the transparency test by placing the diamond over a newspaper, if you can't see the text through the diamond, it's likely real. Lastly, you can use a diamond tester that measures thermal conductivity to determine if the diamond is real.

What can break a diamond?

A diamond can be broken using a number of methods. Gem cutters study the crystal structure of diamonds and then use a hardened chisel and a hammer to cleave them. Certainly placing a diamond on an anvil and striking it with a hammer will break the diamond. But that's a poor use of the tools and a waste of a diamond. The diamond is the hardest substance we know of, but it can be "broken" in a number of ways.


What is the source of ratdiation microwaves?

Practically all of the significant radiation of any kind (including microwaves) that the Earth receives is from the sun. We also get a tiny amount from other stars, not enough to make a difference to the living conditions on Earth, but enough so that we can detect and see them. We can use microwaves to detect some of these stars, and other objects in the universe.
